definitely worth the money! these are heirloom quality. A little more up front, but cheaper cause you never have to buy them again.....HOWEVER!!!!! this product calls for 26/8 staples, 5/16" works fine and are equivalent,,,,,,,, BUT! don’t let anyone try to tell you the 5/16", 26/8 and the 26/8+ staple are the same thing. They are not. 5/16 & 26/8 will not quite crimp over on 50 pages. Also, 26/8+ are very difficult to find, most Amazon sellers advertising 26/8+ do not really have 26/8+, but send you 5/16 staples. The 26/8+ staple measures 8.5mm which is 0.33464567" . clearly 1/3rd inch is longer than 5/16 inch. Might not sound like a big deal, until you get a project that requires lots of stapling of 45-50 pages and each time you staple you have to turn it over and hammer the staple over. Plus it does not hold as well being just a little too short. So if you think you might be stapling 45 to 55 or even 60 pages, this will do it, no questions asked. But you will need 26/8+ staples. Period! Otherwise you will need the Rapid HD 31 which is of the same heirloom quality. 5/16" & 26/8mm staple is fine for up to 40 pages 20LBS sheets. 45-60 & you need 8.5mm-26/8+ staples or just get HD 31 and 1/2" staples

This may be your new favorite stapler. Especially great for craft/ construction projects. The full-hand operation gives you greater control over positioning of the staple. I bought two of these and have staples hundreds over the course of an hour or so through corrugated cardboard with no jams or loading issues. The attached image was a stage set made from cardboard and held together using staples from this stapler.

This is a great product and just what I needed to staple the tops of those heavy paper yard-waste bags (I had been taping them with duct tape, which didn't work well at all). This stapler is truly heavy-duty - no cheap plastic or sheet metal here! It's made of heavy, stamped solid metal and it's weight alone tells you that it's a quality product. Be sure to buy staples along with it (I recommend Rapid 90003 5/16" stapes for K1 plier staplers) - it doesn't come with staples.

This stapler can also be used for stapling paper, stacks of paper (up to 50 sheets), cardboard, and other assorted jobs which require a heavy-duty, plier-style stapler.

I used one of these about a decade ago when I was doing clerical work. When it would go missing, I would go looking for it lol. I decided to buy one for my home office even though I'm not doing a whole lot of stapling because I think this design is the best for stapling receipts to documents or anything light duty like that.

I also have a Swingline 747 in another room and I have a Swingline heavy duty that I use for 20 sheets or more. I don't plan on stapling more than five sheets with the Rapid K1. When you're stapling two pieces of paper together, I think the ergonomics of the Rapid K1 are better than a traditional desk stapler.

Do you really need this stapler considering you can get a desk stapler for under five dollars? No, but you'll be happy with it if you buy it.

I am not sure but I believe this is the stapler I used as a stock boy years ago. If I am right the quality is just as good as it was in the 80s and back then these staplers were indestructible. I bought this stapler because I was tired of the new plastic staplers jamming at anything over one sheet of paper. I also used it for stapling insulation backing together. It will go through cardboard like butter and the staple ends are always folded over correctly, so no worries about catching your finger on a staple. Lastly, this stapler uses regular staples. To me this is important. I do not want to have to look for any special staples. Some of the other pliers staplers I looked at used proprietary staples. I want to be able to buy staples at a local store and worry about trying to find them online.

Nothing wrong with the design or quality. It works well even through thick piles of paper. But I bought another style that I use more frequently. I do not like picking this up each time I need to staple something. I prefer a stapler that stands on its own into which I can simply insert some papers and press. It is sturdy, it will last for years, and it is probably better than the standard staplers. I choose to use it when I need more power than a normal stapler provides.

Use this restaurant for stapling tickets to to-go orders and other order related uses. Great commercial grade materials and UNBREAKABLE! Initially, the stapler jammed frequently....then purchased the staples made by Rapid (5/16) and have had no further issues after switching to the RAPID brand staples. The generic staples we were using were just to thin and did not have enough adhesive...again RAPID staples remedied all further jamming.

I have been using a regular desk stapler for years to try and staple through multiple layers of plastic. Of course, the staples bent most of the time. This stapler goes through 8 thick sheets of plastic like it was stapling sheets of paper! I love it!
